<P>Sims riot for many reasons. Property is put at risk by fires, and
injuries can abound. Traffic can become a mess if the riot goes on
for too long.

<P>A line on your city map extends from you to the riot. Additional
riots will show as icons on your city map.

<P>By the time you arrive, the riot has already developed. Rioters
are always on the street, throwing debris and causing mischief. There
can be several dozen of them.

<P>To receive full bonus and points, you must use your megaphone and
spotlight first, then your water, and then your tear gas. If you use
your tools out of this order, you may end the riot quickly, but you
will lose points.

<P>Your spotlight and megaphone can discourage new rioters on the
fringe and break up small groups. Your bucket or water cannon will
discourage and break up larger groups closer to the center. Use tear
gas to immobilize the largest groups at the center of the riot.

<P>Strategically placed police and fire trucks can contain and
diffuse the riot, and ambulances can help treat injuries. When
rioters leave the area, they cease to riot. When enough of them
leave, the riot is over.

<P>You receive incremental bonuses and points as you diffuse the
riot. When the riot is over, take care of any secondary missions that
the riot may have caused.
